CoinMeta data: Samsung Electronics will release preliminary guidance for its Q3 fiscal year 2026 on Thursday. Analysts expect operating profit to reach 106.1 trillion Korean won (about $79.1 billion), which would mark the fourth consecutive quarter of record-breaking profits. Although demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure still exceeds memory supply, the pace of memory price increases has slowed down this quarter, leading investors to question whether chip profits have peaked. Samsung's guidance document only lists consolidated sales and operating profit; a detailed report will be released at the end of October. The release on Thursday will first answer questions regarding profits, while the other four issues will depend on analyst estimates, industry data, and market reactions.
